Empress difficult

Chu Yun got up in a daze, eyes still half-closed, looked around blankly, and muttered: "What's the sound?"

Meng Yan pursed her lips and did not speak.

Chu Yun rubbed his eyes and called out in a low voice: "Princess, are you asleep?"

Meng Yan stared at the bed curtain, pretending to be asleep.

Chu Yun waited for a while without hearing anything, so he came over to take a look lightly, and yelled in horror: "Oh my god! What are you doing staring wide-eyed when you're not sleeping, princess!"

In the quiet night, the sound was sudden and sharp, and it exploded on the ground.Immediately there was movement outside, the palace door was pushed open, and the water flowed into the night.The footsteps stopped outside the dormitory, Xie Youan asked in a loud voice: "What happened?"

Alarmed by the guards, Chuyun covered his mouth and turned his eyes to Mengyan for help.

The ups and downs of the gap made Meng Yan feel very tired, and he didn't want to think about anything at the moment, and he was too lazy to do anything.Across a bend, without a door or curtain, Xie Youan's voice was more urgent and anxious than before, speaking much faster, as if he could not help but barge in at any time.

Meng Yan let out a breath, feeling a little stuck in his heart.

At this time, I really don't want to face her.

Meng Yan looked at Xie You'an and always felt uneasy.

Originally, he had found the only path in the dark wasteland, but after deciding on this direction, he had to bite the bullet and walk down no matter what.But Xie You'an always did some things that made him shake.

She is obedient, obedient, and sincerely for her own good.She cared about herself, took herself seriously, was humble and cowardly, and carefully maintained herself.

Those eyes were so bright and pure that Meng Yan couldn't convince herself that she was acting.

So all the patience now becomes meaningless—maybe there is another way; maybe the one I am taking is the wrong way.

I became a big fool.

Meng Yan turned over and lay on her side, leaving Chu Yun with a back view.Chu Yun stood helplessly for a long time, until he was urged hard outside, and then responded: "It's all right, sir... His Majesty has already gone to bed, Commander Xie, don't worry."

The people outside were silent for a moment, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual inside, they turned around and went out.

How did you tell Xiaoyun at that time...

"Maybe I'm still a princess! One person is under ten thousand people, and there are obedient attendants, so he can do whatever he is asked to do."

Looking at it now, my crow's mouth is accurate, but there is something wrong with her gender...

This sad thing...

The question is how to meet Wu Yaxian?

Meng Yan was thinking wildly, the sky turned white and fell into the darkness, and the drowsy sleep was actually deeper than the previous nights.

Chu Yun waited at the side, bringing a cup of tea in due course.There are several ice cubes in the house, and the palace lady shakes the fan lightly in her hand, the coolness drifts away leisurely, with a cool and refreshing aroma.

No matter what era, power is the best barrier.She was born on the side of the road before, and was fortunate enough to be picked up by her mother to be able to eat and wear warm clothes. After wearing more clothes, she began to enjoy the life of an emperor.

If only the whole family were here.

Meng Yan lay down on the bed in a "big" shape, sorted out all the thoughts before falling asleep, pulled out the lines one by one and put them separately, and settled the questions before getting ready to get up.

Chu Yun took two court ladies to wait for Meng Yan to dress and wash. Seeing that no matter who they were, they were quicker and more diligent than Chu Yun, Meng Yan became curious: "Chu Yun, how did you get to Lingxi Palace?"

It stands to reason that the empress dotes on the princess so much that even Jiangshan can be used as a birthday gift, so the maids around the princess must be carefully selected.Needless to say, Wan Yan has a delicate and alert mind, and she is unambiguous in her actions.But the Consonance Palace where Chuyun...a big person appears is a bit strange.

Chu Yun wore pink earrings on her ears, which trembled with the shaking, making her look more playful and lively.After hearing the question, she blinked and said with surprise: "It's the princess...Your Majesty asked me to come here! Why, don't you remember?"

I missed it... But what does the princess want a little girl for! ?

Meng Yan pretended to be a wolf with a big tail, and said nonsense solemnly: "I think you forgot!"

Chu Yun pouted and retorted: "It's only been a year or so, how could I forget it! But the time is so fast, it's been a year since I entered the palace in the blink of an eye."

Wasn't it snatched from someone else's maidservant?Could it be brought back directly from outside?

Meng Yan thought about it and said, "Why, do you want to go back?"

Chu Yun shook his head: "The palace is full of food and drink, and His Majesty treats me so well now, it's much more comfortable than being outside! Besides, my sister hasn't come to look for me until now, and I can't find her when I go out."

Looks like there's a lost sister...

Meng Yan comforted her: "Ask an artist to draw your sister's appearance, and I'll ask someone to find it for you."

The gloom on Chu Yun's face was swept away, his eyes were shining brightly, and the joy was pure: "Really!? Chu Yun first thank Your Majesty Long En!"

The matter of the portrait was not in a hurry, Meng Yan first approached Xie Youan, pushed the teacup away, motioned her to sit down and talk, and then asked with a smile: "Commander Xie?"

Xie You'an was frightened by a cup of tea, and fidgeted under Meng Yan's hands.

Meng Yan cared for his subordinates: "Last night, did you go home afterward?"

Xie settled down again, and chose to tell the truth: "No... I live in the Palace Guard Department, and I don't go back on weekdays."

Meng Yan frowned, "tsk", and said dissatisfied: "How can this work! Since you have to rest completely, how can you rest here?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, but the palace is prepared and dispatched, and there will be emergencies at any time, and I dare not leave my post without permission."

It's rare to hear Xie You'an refute himself, and what he said is very reasonable... But sleeping in the bodyguard department at night is considered progress, and I can observe it for a while, and find out a pattern before acting.

Meng Yan put on a face: "Well, this is your responsibility, and it should be——Actually, I called you because of something else. I heard you say that the dark thread was not cleared up last night. Why didn't I know about it?"

Xie Youan dodged his eyes for a moment, and said awkwardly: "It's my father who is investigating—it's not intentional to deceive the Holy Majesty, it's just..."

She "just" for a long time, but did not find a suitable reason.

Meng Yan paved a step for her: "Don't just tell me, what's the matter?"

He deliberately bypassed himself, logically speaking, he didn't want him to know the inside story, but Xie You'an honestly told him everything, word for word.

At that time, the first emperor declared that he was hesitating between the second prince and Yin Zhengqing, and did not know who to choose as his successor.After discussing this for a long time, if you add more fuel to the flames, the two families will be extremely jealous when they meet.According to Emperor Xian's plan, he was waiting to provoke a fight between them, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman.

As a result, before the two families started fighting, the news that the throne was going to be handed over to the princess spread first, and then there were killings in the palace.

According to Xie Meng's thinking, there should be no leaks in the former emperor's strategy, the problem can only be caused by "people".

Not many people knew this inside story, even Xie Youan didn't know that her father had a backhand, and thought that the traitor had really won the hand and ascended to the throne, and felt very sad for her "life or death" father.The secrecy work is done so well, and those who can know the inside story must be people close to the Queen.

Xie You'an still tried to explain: "Father thought that there were remnants of traitors among the people close to the late emperor, and he was worried that this group of people would lurk beside His Majesty, so he didn't tell you."

To put it bluntly, I was worried that the new emperor would be too stupid, and if he didn't know what to say, he would startle the snake if he was not careful.

Meng Yan tapped the table with his index finger, and asked Xie You'an: "Then have you found out now?"

Xie Youan's expression darkened, obviously not.Meng Yan didn't want to embarrass her either, so he waved his hand as if he didn't pursue it.Xie Youan still worriedly added: "Originally, I planned to find out some clues and then report...the crime of deceiving the emperor is not allowed..."

Brain Sutra!Forget it on my side, why do you stretch your neck and demand to be stabbed!

Meng Yan interrupted her: "Okay, okay, check the people around me too."

As soon as the words were finished, a guard entered the door and reported after saluting, "Su Qiu, the servant of Yulan Palace, begged to see His Majesty with his death."

Yulan Palace?If I remember correctly, the second prince is now under house arrest in his Yulan Palace.What does his maid want to see him at this moment?

Xie You'an opened her mouth to stop her, but Meng Yan glanced over, and she swallowed all the words with a look of panic.Meng Yan slowly looked away, looking at the guard: "Let her in."

The guard was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "Su Qiu is dead."

what?

Xie You'an whispered beside him, "I'm afraid I committed suicide to attract His Majesty's attention."

Meng Yan's heart trembled, and he felt chills all over his body.Without waiting for anyone to say more, she ordered: "Put up the Yulan Palace! Go and have a look!"
